You may read the bible from Genesis through Revelations and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. So says the late Catholic Cardinal Gibbon's book Faith of Our Fathers. Now I know that there is a couple of vague scriptures that some have used to authorize Sunday worship and calling it the Lord's Day. One that comes to mind is in the book of Revelation.
(Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet )
Notice this verse does not say the “first day of the week,” or “Sunday” is the “day” called “the Lord’s day.” As a matter of fact, it is not speaking of any day of the week at all, but of “the day of the Lord”—the time of the coming plagues, climaxing in the coming of Christ, and the millennium. This is the theme of the book of Revelation. This text does not designate any day of the week.
Just what day does the the Bible call the Lord’s day.?
The Lord's day is the day Christ is Lord of. Mat 12:8 For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath. Does it make sense that He would do away with it especially after just saying that that the Sabbath was made for man? Mar 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.
